smithy Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 Not sure I know what you're on about, this stud with a sliding member stuff. Never had a problem with mine. Have found pumping grease in the back end as and where necessary stops the chattering and moaning. Been having a little holiday btw, lots of Devon cream pies. Sorry to have missed out. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GT6 M Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 Me self, none.byath have got alot of play int diff gears.will clonk along nicely, not as bad as the one ye took oot though.thrust, both flat ones and cupped ones, hard to come by. can get some made up flat ones.I just re done mine,and thrust that came ott 25 though thick, thrust that went in 45, flat onescups 20, new ones 35. noo as good as new. really need to try and get some bigger thrusts, if they both worn, maybe you can double up on the flat ones need it as tight as ye can get whilst still able to turn.M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shedmonkey Posted May 27, 2012 Author Share Posted May 27, 2012 Cheers for the advice -Hate to admit I am of the thinking I should really do the job proper and recondition one of them I was thinking of throwing the one on the right in and just using the car but time is a cruel mistress for me and I hate having to go back over stuff to take it out again to put a recon in and waste time ....Unless anyone has a decent one out there for sale?There is a local firm run from a farm in the village called gear change who recon gearboxes and diffs might go check them out ,who supplies the best parts for diff re-builds at the moment ?

shedmonkey Posted June 1, 2012 Author Share Posted June 1, 2012 I know you are all looking forward to internal pics of knackered diff but went to take it to bits and realized I didn't have a big socket to take the pinion nut off to get things started! doh so will order my self a big tool via one of those web sites that keep promising me a big tool, what size is it? looks about 1"1/8 ish ? Will have to wait till after half term hols Looks like I might have a budget of around £200 to sort the diff -what would you recommend I do? my first thought was to strip it as much as I can myself without the need for specialist tools, identify whats knackered source the parts then take it round to GT6Ms house for him to put it back together for me! in exchange for 2 gallons of somerset cider of course!So where to get bits?

GT6 M Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 Give Mr Papworth a shout , he doon your end I tink.but just bearings, then most local factors should have em.the only bits you will be strugglin to git , are the thrusts.the diff gears need to be tight. and thrusts are as hard to fin as these. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimW Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 Mike charges £200 to "Refresh" your own diff unit. New bearings, seals and to check it over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shedmonkey Posted June 2, 2012 Author Share Posted June 2, 2012 so how about this for a plan track down a second hand diff not requiring thrusts and then replacing bearings ? so anyone out there will to flog me a diff in need of just berings and selas?!!GT6M- That chick has bite....whats her name would she like a holiday in somerset?
